Wing Island is a video game for the Wii[1] from Hudson Soft. It is played using the gesture system in the Wii Remote. The player tilts the remote horizontally to turn, vertically to go up or down, and flick the Wii controller two times to the side to do a barrel-roll.[2] If the player hits the ground, they will be stunned temporarily rather than exploding as is common in most flying games.

In addition to flying a single plane, players are also able to fly a squadron of planes, which are controlled simultaneously, in many formations.

Challenges include balloon popping, fire fighting, and cargo delivery.[3] The game also includes multi player mini game elements.
